iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example. Experienced in a good listening environment, the listener will imagine distance, elevation, and perhaps even time.
Features
bvdub :: 13 (Past Inside the Present)
The emotional resonances of this album would seem to be marred by writing a review that cannot, by its very nature, encompass the fluxing changes of musical flow and depth captured on 13. Just listen to it and be swept into a world that’s always changing, fates of people and nations rising and falling. This is something we should be unconcerned about, and instead offer our trust, care and love back to the world.
missing scenes :: dream or memory? (Varia)
missing scenes explores a love of nature, darkness, light, and the importance of memory, sleep, and dreaming. The rich tapestry of Kurosawa’s Dreams is mirrored in dream or memory’s? sonic vignettes, bringing together memories of the peach orchard, the kitsune wedding, the watermill village, and Van Gogh’s crows.
V/A :: Ambient electronic sampler 38 (Spotted Peccary Music)
This collection comes from outer space, from Tibet, Texas, Arizona, the Sleepy Hills, there are micro-audio interpretations, then tumbling back into deep space, ancient Africa and then settling over the Southern Ocean. This compilation features tracks from Spotted Peccary’s 38th year in existence.
